MY IDEAL AND MY FANCY.

BEFORE.
My Ideal is maiden slim.
With optics warm and DREAMY.
With golden ringlets waving dim.
And features sweet and creamy.
She muses. in aesthetic nose.
On pictures languid gazes,
And paints the lily and the rose
On tambourines and vases,
My Fancy's an athletic girl
In f1annel skirt and Jacket.
VINO MAKES the white ball skim and wbirl
beIore her tennis racket:
ono sits divinely on her cob,
she dances in the german,
fAnd In the surf she's fit to bob
About with any norman.
ohall II be she who paints on tiles
And ribbons the decanter,
or she who romps about and smiles
beneath Tam o'Shanter?
On, shaIi WOO the pensive maid
Whos ianguid and aesthetic,
vi snail my heart and hands be laid
Before the maid athletici
AFTER.
MY soul soon ceased to toss and whirl.
FOR when the summer tarried,
The languishing aesthetic girl,
My Ideal, married
I'm weary when see her loll
IN dreamy affectation,
And all her high-art fol-de-rol
Drives me to desperation.
Down from the clouds she'll never drop.
High art she calls her Mission,
she couldn't cook mutton-chop
10 save her from perdition.
MY life is now hullabaloo.
For fate has warmed my jacket.
wish I'd wed the maid in blue
Who swung the tennis racket.

New Workers ought TO be more thankful
than they usually are for the climate which
they live. Even the somewhat tOrri, heat of
the present kind Of summer weather is not
without its advantages, and when the Ell
forced city residents let everything go. as it
were, like yacht III squall and pant and
perSpire. hat in hand. and with west apart to
catch Heavens blessed breeze- after the
manner OF Hoods Eugene Aram,r philosophy
will still make life worth living For do but
consider what happens to the unfortunates
who live in what is called an equable climate,
where one can bask in the sameness of the
temperature every day for nine months in
the year. and only light umbrella is needed
the other three months. Is it not notorious
that the residents in such countries never
amornt to anything; that they gradually
lose all their energies, just as the h...s oea.a
making honey under like circumstances;
that not being compelled to rustic" they be-
come indoent, unambitious, lotos eaters, in
word Their descendants in the third gener-
alton are fully developed loafers, and thence
forward the fate Of the race Is sealed.
The truth is that poor humanity l. 70 in
berently lazy rs TO need the spur perpetually,
and there Is 10 stimulus So strong and sure
as that of climate. Here We have our sum

blizzard is not blowing and the snow showing
and che ice coBgealing and everybody being
nipped and stung into activity. the sun IS
beating up the air and extracting the mcist-
ute from the ocean and the soil, and saturat-
p,g the lower strata of the atmosphere there

An Open Confidence.

Our summer trade has so
largely exceeded our expecta-
tions, and our light weights
are SO closely sold out. that we
begin to open our stock Of
medium heavy styles for early
autumn with a cleaner residue
than we ever had; and that,
too, without a clearing sale, ="
"slaughter sale" or any SINH
lar hoary-headed device which
has grown gray with use.
OF course we want to sell
whatever in summer goods we
have left-not SO much to
make room for Fall goods"
as to turn our merchandise into
cash and get whatever profit
there is in the sale. But, so
large has been the legitimate
increase in our business that
each person sees us start out
with a fresh stock, fresh fab
RIGS, and above all, fresh vim
and life.

severally to make for and hold three positions

way thither by means Of maps traced on
transparent paper mounted on sheets OF calico

night was very dark, these maps enabled the
detachments to occupy their positions without
mishap and just in time to prevent Lieut.
